Z-ExtenderTM ZXT-120 (Z-Wave-to-AC IR Extender) Operating Instructions Introduction The ZXT‐120 is a Z‐Wave to IR extender for air‐conditioner (AC), (Figure 1), it works with any Z‐Wave compliant gateway or controller by translating Z‐Wave Thermostat Commands to AC IR control code. User can select the IR code from the built‐in code library of ZXT‐120, or use learning function, by using Z‐Wave Configuration Commands according to the parameter table.
ZXT‐120 into their Z‐Wave network using the primary controller. Then, the user can use either the primary controller or secondary controller to configure and setup the ZXT‐120 using Z‐Wave’s configuration command class. Once the configuration and setup is complete, the controller can use Z‐Wave “Thermostat commands class” to control their IR‐controlled air‐conditioner through the ZXT‐120.
Glossary Device or Node Inclusion Exclusion Remove Z‐Wave Network Primary Controller Secondary Controller Inclusion Controller Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z‐Wave device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z‐Wave network. Add a Z‐Wave device to the network. Delete a Z‐Wave device from the network. To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while that device still exists in the same Z‐Wave network.
ZXT‐120 Operations Before using the ZXT‐120, please read the [INSTALLATION] if you need to mount the ZXT‐120 to a wall. Power up the ZXT‐120 by the USB Power 5Vdc or Dry battery AAA x 3pcs. • • • • • • • • Plug‐in 5Vdc power into the USB socket if operated at Always Listening mode. Or Install 3xAAA batteries if operated at FLiRS mode. Please refer to the section of [MOUNTING PROCEDURE]. Remove the battery cover on the back of your ZXT‐120 battery chassis.

OR • LED flashes four times then stay off (ZXT‐120 set in Always Listening mode) IR Code Selection ZXT‐120 is with built‐in IR AC code library, user may select the IR code using Configuration Command Class. LED Indication Status on ZXT‐120 Step Setup Key After included ZXT‐120 to Z‐Wave controller or Gateway, go to device setup for configuration on gateway or controller. ‐ 1 ‐ 2 Input parameter number “27” and parameter value (please look up the code list of ZXT‐120 according to your AC brand).
L Important Information − Different brand or model of air conditioner has different function. For example, some air conditioner only support o o o temperature set from 18 C‐30 C, if user set 17 C on gateway, ZXT‐120 will not respond. − There are more than 1 code for each brand, some does not support heat, if user selected a code that does not support heat but the original air conditioner supports heat function, please continue to try next code until the correct one is selected.
parameter value “5” (in this case). 4 Press the PROG button on the ZXT‐ 120. (this step apply when using ZRC‐100 or other portable controller for set up, if using gateway, user can skip this step) • LED flashes once when ZXT‐120 receives the configuration setting • ZXT‐120 is ready to learn Aim the original air conditioner remote at ZXT‐120 according to below position within 1‐3 inches LED flashes twice if learning is successful. LED flashes 6 times if it’s failed.

L Important Information After all learning completed, user can go back to the ZXT‐120 control page on the gateway for normal operation. − On the gateway UI, user can only use the temperature range from the mapping table, OFF, ON(RESUME), COOL, HEAT, DRY, If user press the button of FAN, or other function on the gateway UI which is not listed in above table, ZXT‐120 will not respond.
Reset ZXT‐120 to factory default Press and hold “PROG” button for 10seconds on ZXT‐120. The LED will flash twice until reset process is completed. Note: This reset step will not affect the operation mode of ZXT‐120, user should refer to “Listening Mode＂ section if you want to change the operation mode. L Information − If you are using Gateway or other Z‐wave controllers to operate ZXT‐120, Please follow the instruction from the gateway or other controller.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING THE ZXT‐120 TO A WALL MOUNTING LOCATION PRECAUTIONS • Before mounting, check the material and structure of the mounting location. If the location does not have the proper material or structure, the ZXT‐120 can fall and cause injuries. • Use commercial items that best match the wall structure and material for the screws and other fixtures. • Do not mount near a kitchen counter, humidifier, or other location in which it can be exposed to smoke or steam.
Note 2: Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions. 1. Obtain two screws suitable for the wall strength and material. The screw size is shown in the figure below. 2. The positional relationship between the ZXT‐120 key holes and the screw mounting positions are shown in the figure below. Note 1: When mounting the screws to the wall, leave a space between the wall and screw cap as shown in the figure. 3.
Note 1: Check that the ZXT-120 is firmly secured to the wall. Note 2: Insert USB plug or batteries and IR emitter cable so that they are firmly connected to the ZXT-120. 5. When removing the ZXT‐120 from the wall, lift up the ZXT‐120, then pull it towards you. 6. Detach the main unit from the battery chassis by move toward to top position.
WIRELESS INFORMATION Wireless range: This device has an open‐air line‐of‐sight transmission distance of 100 feet which complies with the Z‐Wave standards. Performance can vary depending on the amount of objects in between Z‐Wave devices such as walls and furniture. Every Z‐Wave device set up in your network will act as a signal repeater allowing devices to talk to each other and find alternate routes in the case of a reception dead spot. Radio frequency limitations: 1. Each wall or object (i.e.
Q Can I use the USB port to configure ZXT‐120? A No, the mini USB port only provides an alternative option for user to power the ZXT‐120. Q A Do I need an electrician to install Z‐Wave products in my house? Installation can be simple. In some cases all you need to do is mount the ZXT‐120 to a wall or wooden racks. You also can place the ZXT‐120 on the desk and power it with dry cell batteries.
Q A Where can I keep up to date with the latest Z‐Wave products for my house?
